Pet food food dehydrator Solis

stainless steelbelt conveyor

Overview
Our Solis pet food dryer uses a multi-pass conveyor and dual-plenum airflow to deliver consistent moisture control for a wide range of kibble and extruded pet foods. Hygienic construction and energy-conscious components support continuous production and simplified cleaning.

Key benefits

• Uniform moisture content: Dual-plenum airflow provides consistent drying across the dryer exit, improving product quality and yield.
• Energy efficiency: Airflow design, direct-drive recirculation fans and efficient drive motors reduce energy consumption.
• Sanitary operation: Food-grade 300-series stainless steel, open-channel frame and sloped surfaces reduce accumulation and facilitate cleaning, improving uptime.

Highlight features
Fines management

• Innovative fines management in the plenums prevents fines buildup and minimizes airflow disruption and bacterial risk.
• A flat wire-mesh belt conveys fines to a collection point at the dryer end for removal or reintroduction to the extrusion process.

Hygienic design

• Constructed from 300-series stainless steel to meet food-contact hygiene requirements.
• Open-channel frame, sloped surfaces and a slab floor reduce retention points for fines and simplify cleaning procedures.

Product uniformity

• Dual-plenum airflow with heated air blown from both sides of the conveyor ensures even drying across the full machine width for consistent moisture results.

Other features
Energy-efficient design (Direct-drive fans)

• Direct-drive recirculation fans and energy-efficient motors reduce maintenance and improve overall energy performance.

Dryer enclosure

• Insulated slab floor retains heated air; slab joints are TIG-welded to limit bacterial harborage.
• Exterior doors, fixed panels and lift-out roof panels are insulated, gasketed and fully welded to enhance heat retention.

Support structure

• Optional stainless-steel round-tube support reduces areas for fines to collect, improves cleanability and provides rolling supports for thermal expansion and faster installation.

Applications

• Drying solutions for pet food production (standard kibble and premium extruded products).
